Page 45 - Intelligence Committees News Today

We dont know that is going to happen. that remains a possibility. giuliani doesnt think thats a part of what is possible here. it would be extremely dramatic. other than that, it seems like given the time period that were talking about, the compressed review that barr and rosenstein are reading the report today. i cant imagine were going to get a huge amount of information tomorrow. theres the other paragraph in the barr letter where he said theres this other information that is more sensitive a...

Any findings from the special counsel that pertain to criminal law, hes saying if there are counter intelligence findings from muellers investigation, counter intelligence findings about, say, foreign intelligence operations targeting or compromising u.s. persons in national politics and gof government, those counter intelligence findings by law, according to adam schiff must be briefed to the intelligence committees in the house, even if barr doesnt want to release the rest of the stuff to the ...

Adam schiff must be briefed to the intelligence committees in the house even if barr doesnt want to release the rest of the stuff to the rest of the congress. here is the statement tonight from adam schiff. quote, "today the attorney general informed the congress and the public that the special counsel has concluded the investigation and submitted a report of findings. that report needs to be released to the public." quote, "pursuant to the special counsel regulation, muellers report is likely t...

We know there are several. second, classified information, which, of course, congress is qualified to handle in our intelligence committees, and third, excuse me, grand jury information. there is a longstanding rule without a judicial order, grand jury information is not shared. so, thats the three areas where i think attorney general barr and his team may well be reviewing the report and its work product so see what is appropriate. but frankly, unexpecting this weekend, given the attorney gener...

Counterintelligence question. the fbi tried to determine whether the president of the united states was compromised or influenced by a foreign adversary, my russia. congress has a right to know the results of that information under a separate intelligence reporting statute. the intelligence committees argue the fbi should come to them and tell them what they found. that would have to be in a classified setting and nancy pelosi has apparently said today thats not acceptable to her. she doesnt thi...

Potential danger of giving away information by publicizing too much in these ongoing operations? >> theres a huge danger and i really want to stress as well that we have the mueller report that is being litigated right now, whether it should go to congress, but the department of justice also has a legal requirement to keep congress fully and currently informed. thats the terminology thats used about ongoing investigations and intelligence matters so that congress can conduct their oversight resp...

Around the time that this report comes in, right afterwards, maybe even before. you know, that a lot of the investigation has turned as we can see from what mueller has released in his findings before the courts has turned on the testimony of others that are cooperating with his investigation. and there is reason to believe that there is really more information there that were going to see and the fruits of that. thats especially true in regard perhaps to learning something about the presidents ...

Counterintelligence part, that would go to either the intelligence committees in the house and senate, or if its too sensitive for the full committees, it will be the big eight, the key players on all of the committees and the leadership. so the congress would get that as a counterintelligence document. but im with carl on believing there may be more indictments. i felt that all along. he has been building various cases in other indictments, conspiracy cases. and we have witnesses like gates who...

We have a right to be informed. we will demand to be informed about it. >> as you know, very sensitive information is sometimes passed on to what they call the gang of eight, the democratic and republican leadership of the intelligence committees, the leaders of the house and senate on a very confidential basis. usually, its the most sensitive classified information. would that be adequate as far as you are concerned, some of the most sensitive counterintelligence, intelligence-related informati...

Information there that were going to see and the fruits of that. thats especially true in regard perhaps to learning something about the presidents dealings with paul manafort. >> john dean, the counterintelligence aspect of that would obviously thats classified, and i believe normally would be the head of the intelligence committees would be briefed. is that what would happen to any counterintelligence aspect of this? >> thats correct, anderson. if its just the counterintelligence part, that wo...
